Q

Gout

A

inflammatory join disease caused by incread uric acid in blood. Precipitates where temperature is lower (toes/ distal joints) Crystals attract leukocytes and increase inflammatory mediators. (joint damage)
Treated with NSAIDs and CORTICOSTEROIDS(prednisone) . Also with CHOLCHICINE. all decrease inflammation.

TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical Antidepressants

*Noradrenergic systems are inhibited.

19
Q

Two types of Depression

A

Major and Bipolar depression

20
Q

MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors)

A

Tranylcypromine - irreversibly binds to MAO blocks MAOa & MAO B.
Moclobemide - reversibly binds to MAO-A. doesn’t alter MAO-B in the liver. (cheese and wine isn’t a problem)

21
